“When you produce an
album, you’re dealing
with it theatrically. It
has to have a structure,
and the inner response
to that is that the ear
loves it.”
– Quincy Jones
“Song is a great teacher, a great tool,
a brain enhancer, it’s entertainment.
It’s the soundtrack of life.”

quote Duke Ellington, when they would ask him, what’s his favorite composition?
And I say, I haven’t written it yet. Because, you know, there are different songs for
different occasions.”
– Stevie Wonder
